Cato

Cato 9 mesi fa (modificato) I found a stray cat the other night. It had been hit by a car sometime before I’d gotten there and left in front of a gas station’s door, swaddled in blankets by some passing soul. I went home, got a box and towels, and drove it to the local 24/7 pet hospital. I couldn’t afford to take care of it but they would have taken the poor thing off my hands as best they could. Trying to think of the most soothing music possible I decided to play this on repeat as I made the long drive and I kept telling the kitty how brave it was, how it wouldn’t be hurting soon, how pretty it was. When I got there I found out that it had passed away sometime on the drive over there. It had no microchip and it was a youngster. It was a boy. I named him and got a pawprint of him that I will soon frame. It’s a small thing; a small cat in a small corner of the world that probably never had a human to love or a positive interaction in its life, but that experience has been haunting me for the last few days and I keep coming back to this song thinking of it. I named him Victory there at the end. I hope I can see you again one day, brave boy.
